| Abstract: | By the combination of solid‐phase extraction as well as isotope dilution gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, a sensitive and reliable method for the determination of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals including bisphenol A, 4‐octylphenol, and 4‐nonylphenol in vegetable oils was established. The application of a silica/N‐(n‐propyl)ethylenediamine mixed solid‐phase extraction cartridge achieved relatively low matrix effects for bisphenol A, 4‐octylphenol, and 4‐nonylphenol in vegetable oils. Experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of derivatization, and the extraction parameters were optimized. The estimated limits of detection and quantification for bisphenol A, 4‐octylphenol, and 4‐nonylphenol were 0.83 and 2.5 μg/kg, respectively. In a spiked experiment in vegetable oils, the recovery of the added bisphenol A was 97.5–110.3%, recovery of the added 4‐octylphenol was 64.4–87.4%, and that of 4‐nonylphenol was 68.2–89.3%. This sensitive method was then applied to real vegetable oil samples from Zhejiang Province of China, and none of the target compounds were detected. |
